Some say silence is golden, I choose noise!

Now I'm 'Blake Lewis' to the world, but I will always still be Bshorty from Bothell... I've never looked at it like a competition so I think I've won regardless. I won when I got to the top ten; I've already reached my goal.

Just keep being true to yourself, if you're passionate about something go for it. Don't sacrifice anything, just have fun.

To do what you love and are passionate about is a dream come true, My life is consumed by music and entertainment— and it’s the best life I could ever hope for.

When people would ask me what I’m addicted to, I always said ‘music.’ And while they’d laugh it off like it’s a cliché, I’m actually a complete shopaholic when it comes to records. I’d literally buy 10 albums a week for years, so when I went to that Virgin Records and it said ‘going out of business,’ my heart stopped.

The judges say, make it your own, so I just remixed a song if I felt like the piece needed it

Flowers for me are just things to give to a beatiful woman.
